if you can suspend your belief and just enjoy this gory and unrealistic lord of the flies parody, this isn’t a bad book. a lot of it is implausible but if you can look past that and just read, this is fine.

Modern French literature is really does have a unique bleakness I'm sure there's a point to, but I'll be damned if I can tell you what it is. To be fair, the story is clear about it's events from the very beginning before

offing our entire cast in increasingly gruesome and unsettling ways

. A very "Dead Dove, Do Not Eat" book.

The writing in this book was fun to read, but aside from that...there's nothing really compelling me to recommend this to anyone
